並聯電阻

這段改編自 2010 年 6 月 8 日的對話。

計算並聯電路(parallel circuit)等價電阻(equivalent resistance)的公式是

1/R = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2

但是,除非有三個或以上的電阻,否則,千萬不要用這一個版本,因為運算太繁複。步驟越多,時間就越長,而犯錯的機會亦會越大。簡言之,費時失事也。

你應改為使用高速版:

R = R_1 R_2 / (R_1 + R_2)

這版本的背誦亦不難,只要你記住「相乘除以相加」便行。

Godel 6

This theorem implies that the only way a language can be incomplete is [that] there is a model of the language in which a particular statement is true, and another in which the statement is false.

For example, we can see that [for] the language [comprising] the symbols 0, 1, +, -, and , [] the statement []   is true [] if we take the structure to be C or R, but not if we choose Q. So it is clear that the formula a*a = 2 is not true in every model of the language and the thus the language is incomplete.

What the completeness theorem asserts is that this is the only way that a theory (set of formulas) can be incomplete and that every formula that satisfies every structure is provable in the language.
